Jim - I have an XXL in cobalt blue that I've never worn. I'm happy to part with it for $85 (including shipping). I bought it and the MontBell Ex Light Down Jacket at the same time and don't believe I'll ever wear the vest.

PM me if you're interested. I might be able to ship it tomorrow if we can do this quickly, otherwise it will have to wait a week because I'll be out of town.

It seems to be about the same across my chest as my Ex Light jacket. I don't know what else I could tell you. On my scale it weighs 192 grams (6.77 ounces). My Ex Light weighs 222 grams (7.83 ounces) - for just an ounce more I have insulated sleeves and a full zipper.

Tell you what - PM me your address and I'll ship it to you. If you want to keep it then you can send me the $85. If not return it to me. How's that sound?

There are truly genuine people on this forum.I have neverhad a bad experience, nor recieved bad advice.There is something to be said for that:) I hope everyone has a great weekend.I think i'll go for a hike.

Very cool of you Kevin,this forum sure has some great folks(Jim included,we just had a very smooth transaction). I have had nothing but positive transactions. The generosity and trust is amazing. That says it all.
